...only the beginning of what hacker watchdog John Vranesevich, founder of AntiOnline, calls an "online temper tantrum." Word spread to wired dorms and bedrooms all over the world that U.S. government sites were the target du jour. A group called Masters of Downloading replaced the Senate's home page with its own anti-FBI screed; a Portuguese hacker named M1crochip defaced an obscure Interior Department page and vowed famously (at least for 15 minutes) to "go after every computer on the Net with a [name that ends...
Greenlee will drive home a different silver Honda this evening. His own car, a 1987 Ford Thunderbird, has sat unused in his garage for the past four months. During that time, Greenlee has shared 12 natural-gas Hondas with 60 strangers in an experiment called CarLink. The program is run by researchers at the University of California at Davis, who believe that car sharing can encourage mass-transit use while reducing pollution and traffic. It saves Greenlee money: he pays just $200 a month--covering insurance, fuel and maintenance--to have a Civic for himself at night and on weekends...

But neither did the stock exchanges embrace No-Doz hours--until day traders demanded time to pursue their addiction at home. And neither did Merrill Schwab and Charles Lynch expect to be so much alike that you might confuse their names. These things happened because individuals have become the key force in the market. If individuals decide they want to day-trade funds, it will happen. There are now thousands...
...become disabled in some way. And at that point, he'll need to live in a place not only where someone else rakes the leaves but also where someone takes physical care of him, perhaps around the clock. The choices then will be straightforward: he can enter a nursing home; he can move in with my family or my brother's and hire nursing and household care (since we work full-time); or he can stay in his house and do the same...
